Thanks Oscar! thankyou.gif

Like you already stated, stadium bezel is a really cool design element.  I was immediately impressed with the extremely solid 120 click bezel with no play whatsoever, and the extremely smooth crown engagement when screwing in and out and setting the date/time.  Such a well built piece...Kudos to Steve & Ralf at Benarus.  thumbsup.gif

Here's another angle...

Thanks very much Tony!!! thankyou.gif  Very comfy!

As you already know, another incredible piece from the house of Benarus!  This blue dial really has alot of personality going from almost black in low, indirect lighting to a very pleasing blue in bright, direct lighting.  I struggled a bit in picking the blue or black dial...obviously cannot make a wrong decision either way IMO!

Big congrats to your newbie my friend !

This is really a very nice timepiece.
I like the case shape and the bezel design. A nice vintage flair.
my love.gif

A Isofrane would fit perfect I think.

I am a little envious. My wallet says no crap.gif

thankyou.gif everyone for the nice feedback on the LLD. it is an awesome watch, just beautiful and very different from everything I've owned so farThumbsup3.gif I am very excited about this one and glad I finally was able to grab one at a OK price with the date! much lceaner look essential to this this watch IMHOanodie.gifanodie.gif
The stock strap looks nice and is cool with this watch but quality could have been better from Longines IMHO. I will likely have a leather made for it but wil mostly wear it on the nice Kevlar I had bought for the Everest and a Maratac composite on week ends or vaca.thumbsup.gif

BY the way, congrats to all the Benarus Sea Snake owners, they look awesome!!! the case design is stunning! thumbsup.gif perhaps the best Benarus cse thus far!!! Great job Steve and Ralf!! thumbsup.gif
I can't decide between black and blue dial!!? The blue on the pics here almost look like a dull black that is pretty cool
